6mon 18d ago in enshitification@slrpnk.netLook at your state's and Brokerage's Escheatment policies and procedures. My brokerage will send out a letter prior to taking any actions (and I'd assume they'd also send an email, but idk). Phone calls to the brokerage checking in on the account or direct deposits all count as activity (though with the phone calls, I'd confirm the account number to make sure they're talking about the right account). https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/investing-basics/glossary/escheatment-financial-institutions

One counterexample I would like to point out is the Medicaid expansion under Obamacare seems to have made that program another one of the 'third rail' policies alongside Social Security and Medicare
Breeding Crops for Polycultures
1y 2mon ago in farming@slrpnk.net from headwatersblog.substack.comAlley cropping has a lot of advantages and scales well depending on one's goals. If you wanted to have large combines, you can simply make the alleys wider. Its all about tradeoffs. I'll have to look into Kentucky coffeetree, I imagine that their bean pods would make good livestock fodder.
Regarding the alfalfa wheat intercrop, the goal is actually to harvest the wheat for grain, with the alfalfa functioning as a sort of fertilizer crop (that's still harvested for forage after the wheat is harvested). There are a lot of barriers, so it's an active area of research, but it's a really interesting topic.
A Mysterious Startup Is Developing a New Form of Solar Geoengineering | Stardust, an Israeli–US startup, intends to patent its unique aerosol technology for temporarily cooling the planet.
1y 2mon ago in climate@slrpnk.net from www.wired.comI think ocean iron fertilization has some promise to it, and it has the benefit of being able to be experimented with at a small scale and subsequently scaled up responsibly to measure effects. Aerosols are kind of a one and done solution, and if for any reason its suspended, their is a boomerang effect that drives warming even higher
Its definitely the plot of termination shock

1y 2mon ago in anticonsumption@slrpnk.net from lemm.eeIt's also ridiculous how many products are just trucking water around from one place to another with a little big of active solution mixed in. We need more 'just add water' products available.
Lessons from the World's Largest Cooperative
1y 3mon ago in solarpunk@slrpnk.net from substack.comDefinitely a valid critique of Mondragon in the modern era, its commitment to the 10% ratio has atrophied somewhat. It's still something that ebbs and flows, for example there is a current push to transfer 35,000 non-member workers in their retail coop into full members (from a total of 50,000 workers). From numbers I've seen, 85% of employees are still members, which is pretty good.

1y 3mon ago in climate@slrpnk.netYeah, I think its useful to continue trialing out the technology and see if it can hold up to snuff. But at the same time banking on this idea as our only approach to decarbonizing protein (which is what the beef industry would prefer) is short sighted, imo
